It felt like a party

Whenever my mom and I listened to ABBA Gold, we had a good time. It was a greatest hits 2-disc album that we kept in the car for 10+ years of my childhood.

What added to its value in my mind was that the CDs themselves were shimmery and golden, so my child brain thought they were maybe made of… gold?
